It's a kinda common misconception there.. it's actually if you're USING a reciever to watch TV... if its not tuned in, they have no case against you, although im sure they'd have a good go at arguing with you, even if they are wrong.
oh, im keeping thhe tv, i use it with my xbox as a media center... im perfectly within my rights. i dont want easenders and all that shit ta, so i wont pay:-)
About a week ago (im in the UK), i cancelled my TV license? the reason? I just moved into a new place and after 3 weeks still had NO inclination whatsoever to plug the aerial into the TV... and still don't...so i thought fuck it, I'll just download stuff when I want it.
Downloading may 'kill the movie business' (yeah, right), but it CERTAINLY will NEVER kill TV . tv is that thing people slob in front of if theyve got nothing to do, its the thing people get addicted to... downloading stuff will always be a computer guy's 'thing'... it's unlikely to ever be mainstream...
ugh yeah. The wacom tablets and massively expensive. Just try looking for a A4 one (note: its not a good ide aunless you're loaded...)... theyre marvellous but heck are they high priced. I've yet to swallow and buy one.... but soon, soon.......
I don't agree that NOONE is. I know a HELL of a lot of people who just hacked their xbox to run XBMC, as did I - it's an absolutely outstanding piece of software and really is worth the ~£30 price of a modchip. Occaisionally, I do download games and have a play, but mainly, i just like to use it as a brilliant file server & media center.
I think he makes a fair comparison on 'feel'. He isnt going for start to end comparison, he's more pointing out how it feels to play both, and he finds half life much more enjoyable, quite understandably, even though D3 is still a really good game.
So yeah, lets all go ban drinking alocohol cos it causes accidents... pah... wait a second... that argument is for file sharing.... and even then it's shit.... sorry...
Browsers are out of date because there really isnt anything to do next. xforms is all well and good.. but everyone (or the majority) has to have the support first.
I use firefox. i LIKE firefox... but i've simply had enough of the sensationalist bullshit that seems to persist on the spread firefox site. it seems full of over-excited teenagers who think that firefox IS the world. No, it really isn't.
'A declaration of independence from a stagnant web' STAGNANT WEB? No, ALIVE web, STAGNANT browsers because noone really wants to adopt endless new stnadards which can't be embraced for 5 years anyway.
It just drives me nuts... and all this ego shit doesn't do ANY good for the OS community, it just makes it look stupid and shallow. Firefox is not god like.. its very good, but this spread firefox thing just comes across like a jovial camp guy at a funeral. Shut up won't you?
Exactly why would this delay it? It's not the source, it's the compiled game... that's all. It happens with nearly every high-profile game (journalists are always so trustworthy...)...
As I said, Copy protection keeps the execs happy. Anyone who believes that it work's is a pratt. Still, if you wanna stop someone copying it for a friend, it's better than nothing at all...

Seriously dude, you won't be able to have kids with that doll. I've told you before, it isn't possible.

It wouldn't do anything, afaik (but ianas).... as there's no forces (and therefore 'weight') and it is all relative....
actually, they will... you just have to disable the mod chip.

I don't think you'll find that fat women manage to 'get from a-b' very often ;-)
